"Born In Chicago" is a soulful documentary film that chronicles a uniquely musical passing of the torch. It’s the story of first generation blues performers who had made their way to Chicago from the Mississippi Delta and their ardent and unexpected followers – young white, middle class kids who followed this evocative music to smoky clubs deep in Chicago’s ghettos. There, against all odds, they were encouraged by the greats who had became their musical mentors and learned the art of the blues at the feet the masters, going on to make the music their own.
Himself
O diretor Marc Levin viaja para Chicago com a lenda do hip-hop Chuck D (do Public Enemy) e Marshall Chess (filho de Leonard Chess e herdeiro do legado da Chess Records) para explorar o auge do blues de Chicago e como eles se unem para produzir um álbum que busca trazer veteranos tocadores de blues junto com músicos de hip hop contemporâneos. Junto com imagens de arquivo nunca antes vistas de Howlin 'Wolf, Muddy Waters e Paul Butterfield Blues Band, são atuações originais de Koko Taylor, Otis Rush, Magic Slim, Ike Turner e Sam Lay.

Self
A montage of the weird, a freak-out film that appeared when the expression was in fashion and in flower, along with the flower people. The film was one of the first exponents of the mobile camera-rock track-optical effect school of filmmaking, and it is much a document as it is a documentary. A repellent and fascinating depiction of the Sunset Strip in Hollywood, along with Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco and the East Village in New York. Tiny Tim amounts to something resembling a recurring motif and narrator.
